Police Release Me (Let Me Go!)

Hello there, it’s Uncle Jack here

There has been some hoo-hah and a bit of furore in the press of late about the police continuing to be over-zealous and up to untoward shenanigans. Now, we have to remember that the police do a very difficult job in sometimes dire circumstances, so if they want to beat unarmed protestors about the chops once in a while, who are we to stop them? Every job needs its perks.

I am getting a little fed up of some people saying that we are living in a police state. If I hear another person say that I will have them arrested and throw away the key!

Jacqui Smith still hasn’t got around to deleting the DNA details of millions of innocent people from the police DNA database – she’s a busy woman, what with those two houses to upkeep, her ribald husband, her megalomaniacal ID card database schemes and raiding opposition party members’ houses and offices to worry about! She has been pushing the European Union to start storing ISP data of all of the people we have been speaking to on email and websites that you have visited. The benefits of these data storing powers are paramount to all well-meaning, and not at-all-officious bureaucrats. These people always have our best interests at heart and are entirely competent. We’re not saying that you are all criminals, just that you have the potential to be. In a way, you could see that as a compliment.

Be vigilant, constituents.
